Sons of Ephraim

20 The sons of Ephraim were

Shuthelah, Bered his son,

Tahath his son, Eleadah his son,

Tahath his son, 21 Zabad his son,

Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead, whom the men of Gath born in that land killed because they came down to take their livestock. 22 Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him. 23 Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, so he called his name Beriah, because evil had been in his house 24 (his daughter was Sheerah, who built both Lower and Upper Beth Horon as well as Uzzen Sheerah).

25 Rephah was also his son, as were Resheph,

Telah his son, Tahan his son,

26 Ladan his son, Ammihud his son,

Elishama his son, 27 Nun his son,

and Joshua his son.

28 Their possessions and settlements were Bethel and its towns, and to the east Naaran, and to the west Gezer with its towns, Shechem and its towns, and Ayyah and its towns; 29 also along the borders of the Manassites, Beth Shan and its towns, Taanach and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, and Dor and its towns. In these lived the sons of Joseph the son of Israel.

23 And when he went in to his wife, she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah, because it went evil with his house.
